History

In the early 1900s, downtown Columbus residents and professors from Ohio State University were building summer homes in Clintonville and many of the surrounding farmlands was converted into housing developments. This made commuting easier, especially after the extension of the streetcar lines northward from downtown. A business district developed in the neighboring community of Beechwold, which is separated by about a mile of residences from the Clintonville district to the south. Both communities were part of the Columbus area by the 1950s and it's home to Columbus's first zoo, which both opened and closed in 1905.
It was home to an amusement park from 1880 to 1939 featuring four roller coasters including the rare looping coaster, a dance pavilion, waterslides and canoe rentals for the Olentangy River. One of the fixtures of this park still lives on as the carousel currently housed at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Today, Clintonville is touted as one of the most popular and coveted communities in the Columbus area. It boasts an 87 livability for amenities, cost of living, employment, and schools and has several pockets of residential neighborhoods with older homes, historic designs, modern construction, and spec homes. There's truly something for everyone in a wide range of prices, styles, and designs. - Related - Want to see the funniest map of Clintonville? Click here
